Over Sea, Under Stone by Susan Cooper
2.0

2.5 stars. A Nancy Drew/Scooby Doo-style cosy mystery-adventure featuring three young siblings spending the summer at a seaside house with their elusive great-uncle and finding a mysterious ancient map that might lead to the hidden Holy Grail - but it turns out some shifty characters in town are also after it, and this search may have a mysterious, more than archeological significance. The writing didn't immediately draw me in, though, and it took awhile for the adventure/mystery to get going; for that I deduct a star.
